Are you a non-profit or community-based organization?

Non-profit and community-based organizations play a critical role in helping community members stay safe and supported during challenging times. OPPD’s Energy Assistance Programs make it simple for your organization to provide meaningful help to customers who need it most.

Your organization can help customers by becoming an OPPD Authorized Assistance Agency. Start the process by providing your organization’s information and employees that can contact OPPD to inquire and pledge on behalf of a customer. Once registered, your agency gains access to tools and resources that make it easier to connect eligible customers with financial assistance for their utility bills and pledge your support. Together, we can strengthen our communities—one household at a time.
